Horizontal jump events

Vertical jump events

is a track and field event in which athletes combine speed, strength and agility in an attempt to leap as far as possible from a takeoff point.

The long jump is split into four (4) phases:

The jumper accelerates to a maximum controllable speed.

The jumper generates vertical velocity and minimises the loss of horizontal velocity.

The jumper prepares for landing.

involves the athlete maintaining their take off position for as long as possible, then joining their free leg for a good landing position.

The athlete performs a leg shoot by dropping their free leg to the vertical, joining it with the take off leg, and using overhead arms to slow rotation.

The free leg is straightened, swung back and down, and the take off leg folds up, straightening for landing. The free leg then completes a backward swing and folds up.

The jumper maximises the potential distance of the flight path and minimises the loss of distance at the touchdown.

sometimes referred to as the hop, step and jump or the hop, skip and jump, is a track and field event, similar to long jump.

The competitor runs down the track and performs a hop, a bound and then a jump into the sand pit

is similar to that of the long jump, the only difference is lower horizontal velocity.

Triple jump technique involves four key stages:

The triple jump commences with a runway sprint, influencing the jump's distance, and ends with an athlete's foot touching a take-off board.

The competitor takes off from the board with one foot (foot a), drives forward through the air and lands on the same foot (foot a).

After landing from the hop (on foot a), the athlete uses the momentum to push off again (from foot a

The competitor then lands (on foot b) and positions their body for the final leap.

The athlete forcefully takes off (from foot b), extends their upper body and pulls their legs into a hang position. Finally, they swing their legs forward, locking them together to maximise distance and provide stability for landing.

is a track and field event in which competitors must jump unaided over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without dislodging

In its modern, most-practiced format, a bar is placed between two standards with a crash mat for landing.

also known as pole jumping,
